how do you know it's running rich? need more info as to what you have on the car and what made you come to that conclusion.

The car is painted white and there is black smoke all over the back of my kit where my exhaust leads out. I pulled the spark plugs and they are fine no oil, no leaks from my head gasket or valve cover so thats why I believe its gas. I don't know if my air to fuel ratio is off, or if I have a bad sensor. Any ideas? What should I check? There is NO check engine light on either.

I checked the plugs they are fine there is no oil on them, and they are burning fine. It is a dark black smoke you don't see it in the air it just sticks to my bumper. If I start or accelerate I NEVER see any smoke come out. I wonder if my air to fuel ratio is off or if its a bad sensor?
Another thing I cant grab second gear if I try to chirp it, but my clutch feels fine could it be my clutch master cylinder?
